Kenny Williams meets with Adam Dunn’s agent

Chicago White Sox general manager Kenny Williams met with Adam Dunn‘s agent in preliminary discussions on what Dunn is expecting in free agency this offseason, according to a major league source. The 31-year-old Dunn averaged 40 homers and 100 RBIs the past seven seasons. Numerous teams, including Washington where Dunn spent the past two seasons, are interested in the left-handed slugger.

One major league general manager told ESPNChicago.com that the starting point for Dunn will be a three-year, $40-million deal. …

Dunn’s made clear his distaste for a designated hitter’s role, but he isn’t about to rule out AL clubs, who comprise nearly one-half of his market. He could seek a longer term in exchange for accepting full-time DH duty.
